Objectif : L’objectif de cette étude est d’identifier les espèces utilisées comme bois d’énergie pendant la cuisson de la bière locale et la transformation des amandes de karité en beurre, d’apprécier les niveaux exploitation de ces espèces et de cerner les raisons des préférences d’utilisation de ces espèces. Méthodologie et résultats : Une enquête a été conduite auprès des femmes productrices pour connaître les espèces utilisées prioritairement comme bois énergie. Une estimation du pouvoir calorique des espèces les plus utilisées a été faite au laboratoire. Dix-neuf (19) espèces ligneuses appartenant à onze (11) familles ont été citées comme entrant dans la cuisson de la bière locale et du beurre de karité. Le bois de ces espèces a montré un pouvoir calorifique plus élevé, justifiant les préférences des femmes pour celles-ci. Cependant, la disponibilité des espèces dans les villages reste déterminante pour le choix de leur utilisation. Conclusion et application des résultats : La connaissance des préférences des espèces prioritaires utilisées comme source d’énergie par les femmes constitue une information cruciale pour le choix des espèces à produire pour la restauration du couvert végétal des terroirs villageois. Aussi, la présente étude recommandet-elle ces essences préférées des femmes pour la cuisson de la bière locale et du beurre de karité comme espèces ligneuses à produire par les pépiniéristes pour les campagnes de plantation d’arbres dans les terroirs villageois Mots clés : bois-énergie, pouvoir calorifique, bière locale, beurre de karité, Burkina Faso ABSTRACT Objective: The objective of this study is to identify the species used as fuelwood during the cooking of local beer and the processing of shea kernels into butter, to assess the use levels of these species and to identify the reasons for the preferences of these species. Methodology and results: A survey was conducted among women producers to find out the species used mainly as fuelwood. An estimate of the caloric value of the most used species was made in the laboratory. Nineteen (19) woody species belonging to eleven (11) families were cited as being used to cook local beer and shea butter. The wood of these species showed a higher calorific value, justifying the women's Dao et al., J. Appl. Biosci. 2020 Préférences des femmes et pouvoir calorifique d’essences de bois d’énergie utilisées pour la cuisson de la bière locale et du beurre de karité au Burkina Faso 16140 preferences for them. However, the availability of the species in the villages remains a determining factor in the choice of their use. Conclusion and application of results: Knowledge of the preferences of priority species used as energy source by women become crucial information for the choice of species to be produced for the restoration of the vegetation cover of village landscapes. Therefore, the present study recommends these species preferred by women for the cooking of the local bee and the shea butter as woody species to be produced by nurserymen for tree-planting campaigns in the village landscapes.

Participatory Analysis

Agroforestry parklands face strong pressure from the increasing population of the region. The World Agroforestry Centre (ICRAF Sahel) started a biodiversity project with the objective of developing methods to conserve biodiversity and to improve the situation of the poor rural population. In this context the present study examined the influence of land use unit and the prosperity classes of farmers on the biodiversity of woody species. A wealth ranking classification was carried out and applied to the households of two villages in the central plateau of Burkina Faso using the "Participatory Analysis of Poverty and Livelihood Dynamics" (PAPoLD) method. Thirty farmers of different prosperity classes were chosen and inventories carried out on their different land use units. Statistical analyses show an increase in biodiversity from the village housings. However, no significant influence on biodiversity was observed in connection with a farmer's prosperity class.

Formerly there were several surface brine springs in the North-East Coalfield; to-day there are none. From the many accounts of their occurrence nothing has been learned of their exact position, and very little of the composition of their waters. The earliest record, made in 1684, described the Butterby spring (Todd, 1684), and then at various times during the next two centuries brine springs at Framwellgate, Lumley, Birtley, Walker, Wallsend, Hebburn, and Jarrow were noted. In particular the Birtley salt spring is often mentioned, and on the 6-in. Ordnance map, Durham No. 13, 1862 edition, it is sited to the south-east of the village. Although no record has been found there must have been either a brine spring or well at Gateshead, for the name of the present-day suburb, Saltwell, is very old, and brine springs are still active in the coal workings of that area.

Abstract BackgroundMany field entomology research projects involve local communities in mosquito-collection activities. Since 2012, Target Malaria, a not-for-profit research consortium, has been working with community members in various studies of mosquito collection, release and recapture in the village of Bana, in Western Burkina Faso. Target Malaria’s long-term goal is to develop innovative solutions to combat malaria in Africa with the help of mosquito modification technologies. Since the start of the project, members of local communities have shown interest in playing an active role in the implementation of the project’s research activities, but their actual motivations for such an interest remain under-investigated. This study therefore aimed to examine the factors that motivate the local community to contribute to the implementation of Target Malaria’s activities in the village of Bana. MethodsA qualitative approach was used to examine the factors motivating the local community to assist in the implementation of Target Malaria’s entomological research activities in Bana. 85 individual in-depth and semi-structured interviews were conducted, followed by interviews with three focus groups, one with youths who had participated in mosquito collections and two with men and women from the village. All data collected were fully transcribed, processed, and submitted for thematic content analysis. ResultsData showed that the willingness of local community members to participate in the entomological research activities of Target Malaria was informed by a wide range of motivational factors. Although the actors interviewed expressed their motivations under different semantic registers, the data showed a degree of consistency between different motivations advanced. These similarities enabled us to classify all of the motivational factors under 5 distinct categories: (a) assist in field research, (b) contribute to a better future, (c) acquire knowledge, (d) earn financial compensation, and (e) gain social prestige.ConclusionThese varying motivations reflected fundamentally different personal and collective perceptions about the participation process. In addition, this study shows that the interest of research on participation is a useful part of understanding public perceptions.

"Lumen Accipe et Imperti ", says the motto of Wellington College; and, in becoming a teacher, after being a pupil of the College, I fully accepted the injunction to receive the light and impart it.

The first objective in this area was the Grotta Paglicci (FIG. I), a cave opening into the cretaceous limestone on the south side of the great karstic plateau, just below the village of Rignano. Here, in 1957, three of the author's colleagues, Professors A. Pasa and S. Ruffo, and Sig. Messena collected bone and stone artifacts of Palaeolithic date from the tip of a vast excavation which a mad treasure hunter had been carrying out in the cave for several years. When I visited the site in 1960 to make the preparations for a proper excavation, I discovered to my dismay that in the meantime this same treasure hunter, in spite of dissuasion, had been continuing his devastation with the help of explosives and had caused the fmal collapse of the entrance to the cave, completely obscuring its natural morphology. With meagre hopes of finding any part of the deposit intact, a start was made in the following April 1961 patiently to clear the mouth of the cave to see what could be saved. Fortunately an area of undisturbed deposit was found sealed below some large blocks of the fallen roof and furthermore a passage was cleared through the treasure hunter's debris towards the interior of the cave.

Shea butter, derived from the African shea tree, has acquired a pivotal position in global agro-food and cosmetics industries. In Burkina Faso, public and private actors as well as civil society are converging upon the product to boost the incomes of rural female producers. As a result of these trends, the shea value chain is increasingly segmented; shea nuts are sold in a low-return, conventional market and simultaneously enter an alternative, high-value niche market. In the latter strand of the value chain, some producers are improving their prospects by forming an association. Tracing relationships across the two strands, we demonstrate how ‘horizontal’ relations based on gender, ethnicity, age and geography contribute to shaping participation and benefit capture in the shea value chain. We argue that processes of social inclusion and exclusion operate in parallel, as differentiated actors both cooperate and compete to secure their place within the chain. While collective organizing brings positive social and economic benefits, we show that producers’ associations need not be empowering for all women. The significance of collective enterprises, but also their drawbacks must be considered when valorising pathways to women's empowerment. Our study reinforces calls for greater integration of horizontal elements in value chain analyses.
